This sounds a lot like IBS which is what I suffer from. There is a forum on here for that although I didn't really get any response when I contributed to it. I think I would have a chat to a doctor. It can be hormonally related as well. Some people find probiotics help but that made me worse. I found what really helped is two weeks with oregano oil capsules to get rid of a small bowel overgrowth which can be the cause of IBS.

I think for me it was brought on worse at Menopause when I had heavy periods and a lot of iron loss and became anemic which lowers the immune system and can cause other problems. For me horrific insomnia for years. Since heard other ladies going through the same thing and it's years before they discover that was connected to this so share in case anybody else has going through this too. All the best x

Typical IBS D symptoms. I have had this for years and sometimes you will get a little respite then it returns with a vengeance. I would however see the doctor about the itchy bottom, just to ensure there is no infection, fungal or otherwise. Don't be too surprised if the Doc doesn't have a solution to the IBS, they don't know what causes it. However whilst you are there, they can do tests to make sure it is actually IBS and nothing more serious. Good luck.
